(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation were included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.2023. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report of loanDepot, Inc. on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 (“20212022 Form 10-K”).

Nature of Operations

loanDepot, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on November 6, 2020 to facilitate the initial public offering (“IPO”) of its Class A common stock and related transactions in order to carry on the business of LD Holdings Group LLC (“LD Holdings”) and its consolidated subsidiaries. loanDepot, Inc.’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on February 11, 2021 under the ticker symbol “LDI.” loanDepot, Inc. is a holding company and its sole material asset is its equity interest in LD Holdings. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 the consolidated subsidiaries of LD Holdings included loanDepot.com, LLC, (“LDLLC”), Artemis Management LLC (“ART”), LD Settlement Services, LLC (“LDSS”), mello Holdings, LLC (“Mello”), and mello Credit Strategies LLC (“MCS”). Unless otherwise noted or indicated by the context, the term, the “Company,” refers (1) prior to the consummation of the IPO to LD Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries, and (2) after the IPO to loanDepot, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including LD Holdings.

The Company engages in the originating, financing, selling, and servicing of residential mortgage loans, and engages in title, escrow, and settlement services for mortgage loan transactions. The Company derives income primarily from gains on the origination and sale of loans to investors, income from loan servicing, and fees charged for settlement services related to the origination and sale of loans.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are described below and in Note 1- Description of Business Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 20212022 Form 10-K.

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (“FASB”)FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or the “Codification”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

ASC 250 requires thatloanDepot, Inc. is a change in the reporting entity or the consummation of a transaction accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, i.e., a reorganization of entities under common control, be retrospectively applied to the financial statements of all prior periods when the financial statements are issued for a period that includes the date the change in reporting entity or the transaction occurred. Prior to the IPO, the Company completed a reorganization where LLC unitsholding company, its sole material asset is its equity interest in LD Holdings held by certain members (“Continuing LLC Members) were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Class A holding units (“Holdco Units”) and Class C common stock.as the sole managing member of LD Holdings, continues to beloanDepot, Inc. indirectly operates and controls all of LD Holdings’ business and affairs. LD Holdings is also a holding company and has no material assets other than its equity interests in its direct subsidiaries consisting of a 99.99% ownership in LDLLC (the majority asset of the group), and 100% equity ownership in ART, LDSS, Mello, and MCS. As a result of the IPO and reorganization, loanDepot, Inc. became a holding company, its sole material asset is its equity interest in LD Holdings and as the sole managing member of LD Holdings, loanDepot, Inc. indirectly operates and controls all of LD Holdings’ business and affairs. The IPO and reorganization were considered transactions between entities under common control. The financial results of LD Holdings and


7



its subsidiaries are consolidated with loanDepot, Inc,Inc., and the consolidated net earnings or loss are allocated to the noncontrolling interest to reflect the entitlement of the certain members that still hold Class A holdings units (“Holdco Units”) and Class C common stock, (“Continuing LLC Members.Members”) as of the periods presented.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Company and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities that have a total equity investment at risk that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, whose equity investors at risk lack the ability to control the entity's activities, or is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The Company evaluates its associations with VIEs, both at inception and when


6



there is a change in circumstance that requires reconsideration, to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidation is required. A primary beneficiary is defined as a variable interest holder that has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest requires both: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’VIE’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of a VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has not provided financial or other support during the periods presented to any VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide. Other entities that the Company does not consolidate, but for which it has significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain items in prior periods were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. To conform to the current period presentation, servicing expense on the consolidated statements of operations includes subservicing expense and in-house servicing expense.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through the date of this report and has not identified any recordable or disclosable events that were not already reported in these consolidated financial statements or notes thereto.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Management has made significant estimates in certain areas, including determining the fair value of loans held for sale, servicing rights, derivative assets and derivative liabilities, trading securities, awards granted under the incentive equity plan, determining the loan loss obligation on sold loans and MSRs, and goodwill impairment.MSRs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Risk

The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in several financial institutions, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash.

Due to the nature of the mortgage lending industry, changes in interest rates may significantly impact revenue from originating mortgages and subsequent sales of loans to investors, which are the primary source of income for the Company. The Company originates mortgage loans on property located throughout the United States, with loans originated for property located in California totaling approximately 22%17% of total loan originations for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

The Company sells mortgage loans to various third-party investors. Three investors accounted for 30%11%, 27%29%, and 21%33% of the Company’s loan sales for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. No other investors accounted for more than 5% of the loan sales for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

The Company funds loans through warehouse and other lines of credit. As of September 30, 2022, 15%March 31, 2023, 17% and 17%12% of the Company's warehouse lines were payable to two separate lenders.

Sensitivities are hypothetical changes in fair value and cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of changes in assumptions to changes in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption is calculated without changing any other assumption, whereas a change in one factor may result in changes to another. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that actual results would be consistent with the results of these estimates. As a result, actual future changes in servicing rights values may differ significantly from those displayed above.



NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Because many of the Company’s current derivative agreements are not exchange-traded, the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the agreements. The Company controls this risk through credit monitoring procedures including financial analysis, dollar limits and other monitoring procedures. The notional amount of the contracts does not represent the Company’s exposure to credit loss.

The Company performs its annual assessment of possible impairment of goodwill and intangible assets as of December 31, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company performed an interim impairment test due to the impact of rising interest rates on the mortgage industry and the Company’s recent stock performance. The evaluation of goodwill included a market based and income based approach. Based upon the results of this evaluation, an impairment charge of $40.7 million was recognized, driven predominantly by a significant decline in our market capitalization.

In addition to goodwill, the Company had other intangible assets related to trademarks associated with prior acquisitions. The Company reviews intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that


21



carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The factors outlined in the goodwill impairment discussion above triggered an interim impairment evaluation of other intangible assets during the second quarter of 2022. Based upon the results of this evaluation, an impairment charge of $1.4 million was recognized.


NOTE 87 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The determination of whether the assets and liabilities of the VIEs are consolidated or not consolidated in the consolidated balance sheets depends on the terms of the related transaction and the Company’s continuing involvement, if any, with the VIE. The Company is deemed the primary beneficiary and therefore consolidates VIEs for which it has both (a) the power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, and (b) benefits, as defined, from the VIE. The Company determines whether it holds a significant variable interest in a VIE based on a consideration of both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size, and form of its involvement with the VIE. The Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis. The Company did not provide any non-contractual financial support to VIEs for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

Consolidated VIEs

The Company is a holding company, its sole material asset is its equity interest in LD Holdings and as the sole managing member of LD Holdings, the Company indirectly operates and controls all of LD Holdings’ business and affairs. LD Holdings is considered a VIE and the financial results of LD Holdings and its subsidiaries are consolidated. A portion of net earnings or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interest to reflect the entitlement of the Continuing LLC Members.

The Company is involved in several types of securitization and financing transactions that utilize special purpose entities (“SPEs”). The Company’s principal use of SPEs is to obtain liquidity by securitizing certain of its financial and non-financial assets. SPEs involved in the Company’s securitization and other financing transactions are often considered VIEs.

The Company consolidates securitization facilities that finance mortgage loans held for sale, and SPEs established as trusts to finance mortgage servicing rights and servicing advance receivables. The Company sells assets to a securitization or trust, which issue beneficial interests that are collateralized by the transferred assets and entitle the investors to specified cash flows generated therefrom. The Company may retain beneficial interests in the assets sold. The Company also holds certain conditional repurchase options specific to these securitizations that allow it to repurchase assets from the securitization entity. The Company’s economic exposure to loss from outstanding third-party financing is generally limited to the carrying value of the assets financed. The Company has retained risks in the securitizations including customary representations and warranties. For securitization facilities, the Company, as seller, has an option to prepay and redeem outstanding classes of issued notes after


17



a set time period has elapsed. The Company’s exposure to these entities is primarily through its role as seller, servicer, and administrator. Servicing functions include, but are not limited to, general collection activity, preparing and furnishing statements, and loss mitigation efforts including repossession and sale of collateral.

The Company sellsmay sell mortgage loans to investors through private label securitizations which are accounted for either as sales or secured borrowings. The Company may retain economic interests in the securitized and sold assets, which are generally retained in the form of senior or subordinated interests, residual interests, and/or servicing rights. The Company evaluates its interests in each private label securitization for classification as a VIE.

Retained interests

In 2022 and 2021, the Company completed the sale and securitization of non-owner occupied residential mortgage loans. Pursuant to the credit risk retention requirements, the Company, as sponsor, is required to retain at least a 5% economic interest in the credit risk of the assets collateralizing the securitization transactions. The retained interests represent a variable interest in the securitizations. The Company determined it was not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company’s continuing involvement is limited to customary servicing obligations as servicing administratorservicer associated with retained servicing rights and the receipt of principal and interest associated with the retained interests. The investors and the securitization trusts have no recourse to the Company’s assets; holders of the securities issued by each trust can look only to the loans owned by the trust for payment. The retained interests held by the Company are subject principally to the credit risk stemming from the underlying transferred loans. The securitization trusts used to effect these transactions are variable interest entities that the Company does not consolidate.

The Company’s pro rata share of net earnings of joint ventures was $4.6 million and $10.8$3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively,March 31, 2023, and $3.0 million and $8.1$2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively,March 31, 2022, and is included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 15–14– COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Escrow Services

In conducting its operations, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, LDSS and ACT, routinely hold customers' assets in escrow pending completion of real estate financing transactions. These amounts are maintained in segregated bank accounts and are offset with the related liabilities resulting in no amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The balances held for the Company’s customers totaled $8.0$3.6 million and $21.1$5.1 million at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a defendant in, or a party to, legal actions and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for monetary damages are asserted against the Company. These matters include actions alleging improper lending practices, improper servicing, quiet title actions, improper foreclosure practices, violations of consumer protection laws, etc. and on account of consumer bankruptcies. In many of these actions, the Company may not be the real party of interest (because the Company is not the servicer of the loan or the holder of the note) but it may appear in the pleadings because it is in the chain of title to property over which there may be a dispute. Such matters may be indemnified and managed by the appropriate party, which may be the Company’s subservicer or a former subservicer. In other cases, such as lien avoidance cases brought in bankruptcy, the Company is insured by title insurance, and the case is turned over to the title insurer who tenders the Company’s defense. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for monetary damages are asserted against the Company. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings, the Company generally cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss related to each pending matter may be, if any.

The Company seeks to resolve all litigation and regulatory matters in the manner management believes is in the best interest of the Company and contests liability, allegations of wrongdoing, and, where applicable, the amount of damages or scope of any penalties or other relief sought as appropriate in each pending matter. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Any estimated loss is subject to significant judgment and is based upon currently available information, a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. Where available information indicates that it is probable a liability has been incurred and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss, an accrued liability is established. The actual costs of resolving these proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued.

Employment Litigation

On December 24, 2020, the Company received a demand letter from one of the senior members of its operations team alleging, among other things, loan origination noncompliance and various employment related claims, including hostile work environment and gender discrimination, with unspecified damages. The executive has since resigned her position with the


26



Company. The parties participated in pre-litigation mediation in May 2021. The parties did not resolve the matter at mediation and aOn September 21, 2021, Plaintiff filed her complaint was filedled with the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange on September 21, 2021 and an amended complaint was filed on December 21, 2021. In response,Following some motion practice, on February 2, 2022 the Company filed a demurrer to the complaint with the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange, for failing to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action while still vigorously denying the claims within the complaint. On March 24, 2022, the plaintiff filed her opposition to loanDepot’s demurrer. On March 29, 2022, the Company filed its reply to Plaintiff’s opposition. A hearing was held on the Company’s demurrer on May 12, 2022, at the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange. The court sustained the Company’s demurrer in full. On June 30, 2022, the Company filed its answer and affirmative defenses to the amended complaint. The Company deposed the Plaintiff and anticipates filing its Motion for Summary Judgment, or in the Alternative, Summary Adjudication on or before May 17, 2023. The plaintiff seeks damages in excess of $75 million. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and intendscontinues to vigorously defend against it. Discovery in this matter is still ongoing.

While the Company’s management does not believe these allegations have merit, defending such allegations couldhas resulted in and will likely continue to result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.



32



The ultimate outcome of the other legal proceedings is uncertain, and the amount of any future potential loss is not considered probable or estimable. The Company will incur defense costs and other expenses in connection with these legal proceedings. If the final resolution of any legal proceedings is unfavorable, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.

Based on the Company’s current understanding of these pending legal actions and proceedings, management does not believe that judgments or settlements arising from pending or threatened legal matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows of the Company. However, unfavorable resolutions could affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the years in which they are resolved.

Regulatory Requirements

The Company is subject to various capital requirements by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”); lenders of the warehouse lines of credit; and secondary markets investors. Failure to maintain minimum capital requirements could result in the inability to participate in HUD-assisted mortgage insurance programs, to borrow funds from warehouse line lenders or to sell or service mortgage loans. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its selling and servicing capital requirements.

Commitments to Extend Credit

The Company enters into IRLCs with customers who have applied for residential mortgage loans and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These commitments expose the Company to market risk if interest rates change and the loan is not economically hedged or committed to an investor. The Company is also exposed to credit loss if the loan is originated and not sold to an investor and the customer does not perform. The collateral upon extension of credit typically consists of a first deed of trust in the mortgagor’s residential property. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Total commitments to originate loans as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20212022 approximated $4.8$3.2 billion and $12.7$2.2 billion, respectively. These loan commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value, refer to Note 6-5- Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for further information on derivatives.

The Company establishes a loan repurchase reserve for losses associated with repurchase loan obligations if the Company breached a representation or warranty given to the loan purchaser. Additionally, the Company’s loan loss obligation for sold loans includes an estimate for losses associated with early payoffs and early payment defaults.

The Company establishes a reserve related to the reimbursement of the purchase price for any loans that are prepaid in full within 90 days of the MSR sale transaction. The obligation for sold MSRs was $6.5$0.8 million and $0.4$1.1 million as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021, respectively2022, respectively.

A summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.
Key Factors Influencing Our Results of Operations
Market and Economic Environment
The consumer lending market and the associated loan origination volumes for mortgage loans are influenced by interest rates and economic conditions. While borrower demand for consumer credit has typically remained strong in most economic environments, general market conditions, including the interest rate environment, unemployment rates, home price appreciation and consumer confidence may affect borrower willingness to seek financing and investor desire and ability to invest in loans. For example, a significant interest rate increase or rise in unemployment could cause potential borrowers to defer seeking financing as they wait for interest rates to stabilize or the general economic environment to improve. Additionally, if the economy weakens and actual or expected default rates increase, loan investors may postpone or reduce their investments in loan products.
The volume of mortgage loan originations associated with home purchases is generally affected by broader economic factors as well as the overall strength of the economy, housing prices, and interest rate fluctuations. Increases in interest rates may affect affordability and the ability for potential home buyers to qualify for a mortgage loan. Purchase mortgage loan origination volume can be subject to seasonal trends as home sales typically rise during the spring and summer seasons and decline in the fall and winter seasons. This is somewhat offset by purchase loan originations sourced from our joint ventures which experience their highest level of activity during November and December as home builders focus on completing and selling homes prior to year-end. Seasonality has less of an impact on mortgage loan refinancing volumes, which are primarily driven by fluctuations in mortgage loan interest rates.
Fluctuations in Interest Rates
Our mortgage loan refinancing volumes (and to a lesser degree, our purchase volumes), balance sheets, and results of operations are influenced by changes in interest rates and how we effectively manage the related interest rate risk. As interest rates decline, mortgage loan refinance volumes tend to increase, while an increasing interest rate environment may cause a decrease in refinance volumes and purchase volumes. In addition, the majority of our assets are subject to interest rate risk, including LHFS, IRLCs, servicing rights and mandatory trades, forward sales contracts, interest rate swap futures and put


36



options. We refer to such mandatory trades, forward sales contracts, interest rate swap futures and put options collectively as “Hedging Instruments.” As interest rates increase, our LHFS and IRLCs generally decrease in value while our Hedging Instruments utilized to hedge against interest rate risk typically increase in value. Rising interest rates cause our expected


30



mortgage loan servicing revenues to increase due to a decline in mortgage loan prepayments which extends the average life of our servicing portfolio and increases the value of our servicing rights. Conversely, as interest rates decline, our LHFS and IRLCs generally increase in value while our Hedging Instruments decrease in value. In a declining interest rate environment, borrowers tend to refinance their mortgage loans, which increases prepayment speed and causes our expected mortgage loan servicing revenues to decrease, which reduces the average life of our servicing portfolio and decreases the value of our servicing rights. The changes in fair value of our servicing rights are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in changes in fair value of servicing rights, net, in our consolidated statements of operations.
As interest rates increase, rate and term refinancings become less attractive to consumers. However, rising interest rates during periods of inflationary pressures can make real assets, including real estate, an attractive investment. Demand for real estate may result in ongoing support for purchase mortgages and increasing home price appreciation creating borrower equity that may result in increasing opportunities for cash-out refinancings or home equity loans.

Current Market Conditions
In November 2022March 2023, the Federal Reserve raised the Federal Funds rate by another 0.750.25 percentage points for a total increase of 3.754.75 percentage points since the beginning of 2022. The resulting increase in mortgage interest rates havehas impacted mortgage transaction volumes, which are expected to continue to decline through 2023. Accordingfor 2023 relative to MBA’s Mortgage Finance Forecast published October 23, 2022, annual one-to-four family residential mortgage origination volumes are expected to decrease by $0.2 trillion, or 9% to $2.0 trillion by December 31, 2023. The primary driver of this decrease is refinance volume.
2022. As a result of current market conditions, in July 2022 we have implementedannounced our Vision 2025 Plan, theplan. The plan’s four primary elements include:included: 1) Increase focus on purchase transactions while serving increasingly diverse communities across the country; 2) Execute previously announced growth-generating initiatives; 3) Centralize management of loan originations and loan fulfillment to enhance quality and effectiveness; and 4) Right-sizeAggressively rightsize our cost structure. During the third quartersecond half of 2022 we reducedconsolidated our real estate footprint which resulted in a $9.1 million lease impairmentretail and $11.0 million loss on disposal of fixed assets. We reduced our quarterly operating expenses including personnel and marketing related costscorporate locations and completed the exit of our wholesale business.

Key Performance Indicators
We manage and assess the performance of our business by evaluating a variety of metrics. Selected key performance metrics include loan originations and sales and servicing metrics.
Loan Origination and Sales
Loan originations and sales by volume and units are a measure of how successful we are at growing sales of mortgage loan products and a metric used by management in an attempt to isolate how effectively we are performing. We believe that originations and sales are an indicator of our market penetration in mortgage loans and that this provides useful information because it allows investors to better assess the strength of our core business. Loan originations and sales include brokered loan originations not funded by us. We enter into IRLCs to originate loans, at specified interest rates, with customers who have applied for a mortgage and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. We believe the volume of our IRLCs is another measure of our overall market share.
Gain on sale margin represents the total of (i) gain on origination and sale of loans, net, and (ii) origination income, net, divided by loan origination volume during period.
Pull through weighted gain on sale margin represents the total of (i) gain on origination and sale of loans, net, and (ii) origination income, net, divided by the pull through weighted rate lock volume. Pull through weighted rate lock volume is the unpaid principal balance of loans subject to interest rate lock commitments, net of a pull-through factor for the loan funding probability.


37



Servicing Metrics
Servicing metrics include the unpaid principal balance of our servicing portfolio and servicing portfolio units, which represent the number of mortgage loan customers we service. We believe that the net additions to our portfolio and number of units are indicators of the growth of our mortgage loans serviced and our servicing income, but may be offset by sales of servicing rights.

Origination Income, Net. Origination income, net, reflects the fees that we earn, net of lender credits we pay, from originating loans. Origination income includes loan origination fees, processing fees, underwriting fees, and other fees collected from the borrower at the time of funding. Lender credits typically include rebates or concessions to borrowers for certain loan origination costs. The $65.3$47.1 million or 75.4%79.7% decrease in origination income was the result of a 69.2%77.1% decrease in loan origination volumes.
Servicing Fee Income. Servicing fee income reflects contractual servicing fees and ancillary and other fees (including late charges) related to the servicing of mortgage loans. The increase of $11.1$7.9 million or 10.9%7.1% in servicing income reflects an increase of$4.3 billion in the weighted average UPB ofservicing fee, our transition to in-house servicing, portfolio.and higher ancillary income from the increase in interest rates.

Servicing Expense. The decrease of $30.3 million or 39.4% between periods reflects our shift to in-house servicing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity

Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations, (includingincluding our operating expenses and, when applicable, the retirement of our debt and margin calls relating to our Hedging Instruments, warehouse and other lines of credit, and secured credit facilities, fund new originations and purchases, meet servicing advance requirements, and make investments as we identify them. We forecast the need to have adequate liquid funds available to operate and grow our business. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $1.1 billion$798.1 million and committed and uncommitted available capacity under our warehouse and other lines of credit was $3.1$2.1 billion.
We fund substantially all of the mortgage loans we close through borrowings under our warehouse and other lines of credit. Our mortgage origination liquidity could be affected as our lenders reassess their exposure to the mortgage origination industry and either curtail access to uncommitted mortgage warehouse financing capacity or impose higher costs to access such capacity. Our liquidity may be further constrained as there may be less demand by investors to acquire our mortgage loans in the secondary market.
As a servicer, we are required to advance principal and interest to the investor for up to four months on GSE backed mortgages and longer on other government agency backed mortgages on behalf of clients who have entered a forbearance plan. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, approximately 0.2%0.1%, or $319.5$174.0 million UPB, of our servicing portfolio was in active forbearance. While these advance requirements have decreased from the higher levels during 2020, the economic impact of COVID-19 could continue to result in additional advance requirements related to forbearance plans.


47



Sources and Uses of Cash
Our primary sources of liquidity have been as follows: (i) funds obtained from our warehouse and other lines of credit; (ii) proceeds from debt obligations; (iii) proceeds received from the sale and securitization of loans; (iv) proceeds from the sale of servicing rights; (v) loan fees from the origination of loans; (vi) servicing fees; (vii) title and escrow fees from settlement services; (viii) real estate referral fees; and (ix) interest income from LHFS.
Our primary uses of funds for liquidity have included the following: (i) funding mortgage loans; (ii) funding loan origination costs; (iii) payment of warehouse line haircuts required at loan origination; (iv) payment of interest expense on warehouse and other lines of credit; (v) payment of interest expense under debt obligations; (vi) payment of operating expenses; (vii) repayment of warehouse and other lines of credit; (viii) repayment of debt obligations; (ix) funding of servicing advances; (x) margin calls on warehouse and other lines of credit or Hedging Instruments; (xi) payment of tax distributions to holders of Holdco Units; (xii) payments of cash dividends or distributions subject to the discretion of our board of directors, (xiii) repurchases of loans under representation and warranty breaches; and (xiv)(xii) costs relating to servicing and subservicing.servicing.
We rely on the secondary mortgage market as a source of long-term capital to support our mortgage lending operations. Approximately 78%73% of the mortgage loans that we originated during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 were sold in the secondary mortgage market to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or, in the case of MBS guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, are mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by the FHA or VA. We also sell loans to many private investors.

At this time, we currently believe that our cash on hand, as well as the sources of liquidity described above, will be sufficient to maintain our current operations and fund our loan operations and capital commitments for the next twelve months. However, we will continue to review our liquidity needs in light of current and anticipated mortgage market conditions and we have taken various steps to align our cost structure with current and expected mortgage origination volumes.

Warehouse and Other Lines of Credit and Debt Obligations
Warehouse and other lines of credit are discussed in Note 9-8- Warehouse and Other Lines of Credit and debt obligations are discussed in Note 10-9- Debt Obligations of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item“Part 1. Financial information”
Our lenders require us to comply with various financial covenants including tangible net worth, liquidity, leverage ratios and profitability. As a result of net losses during 2022 and in the first quarter of 2023, we were required to amend certain of our warehouse lines or debt obligations or obtain waivers of profitability related to financial covenants in certain of our debt obligations. We expect that we will need to further amend or obtain waivers in order to maintain compliance with such financial covenants. Our lenders are not required to grant any such amendments or waivers and may determine not to do so. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, following certain amendments, we were in full compliance with all financial covenants. Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and affect our liquidity through minimum cash reserve requirements, we believe that these covenants currently provide us with sufficient flexibility to operate our business and obtain the financing necessary to achieve that purpose.
We finance most of our loan originations on a short-term basis using our warehouse and other lines of credit. Under these facilities, we agree to transfer certain loans to our counterparties against the transfer of funds by them, with a simultaneous agreement by the counterparties to transfer the loans back to us at the date loans are sold, or on demand by us, against the transfer of funds from us. We do not recognize these transfers as sales for accounting purposes. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our loans remained on warehouse lines for an average of 1819 days. Our warehouse facilities are generally short-term borrowings with original maturities between one and two years. Our securitization facilities are generally two or three year terms. We utilize both committed and uncommitted loan funding facilities and we evaluate our needs under these facilities based on forecasted volume of loan originations and sales.
As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we maintained revolving lines of credit with tennine counterparties providing warehouse and securitization facilities with borrowing capacity totaling $5.7$4.1 billion of which $1.4 billion was committed. Our $5.7$4.1 billion of capacity as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was comprised of $2.9$3.6 billion with maturities staggered throughout 2022, $2.3 billion maturing in 2023 and $0.5 billion maturing in 2024. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $2.5$1.8 billion of borrowings outstanding and $3.1$2.1 billion of additional availability under our facilities.
When we draw on our warehouse and securitization facilities we must pledge eligible loan collateral. Our warehouse line providers require us to make a capital investment, or “haircut.” upon financing the loan, which is generally based on product


48



types and the market value of the loans. The haircuts are normally recovered from sales proceeds. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had a total of $38.5$7.8 million in restricted cash posted as collateral with our warehouse and securitization facilities, of which $5.5$4.3 million was the minimum requirement.
In addition to our warehouse lines, we fund our balance sheet through our secured and unsecured debt obligations. The availability and cost of funds to us can vary depending on market conditions. From time to time, and subject to any applicable laws or regulations, we may take steps to reduce or repurchase our debt through redemptions, tender offers, cash purchases, prepayments, refinancing, exchange offers, open market or privately-negotiated transactions. The amount of debt, if any, that may be reduced or repurchased will depend on various factors, such as market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash positions, our compliance with debt covenants, and other considerations.

Secured debt obligations as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 included secured credit facilities and Term Notes that totaled $1.3 billion net of $1.9$0.7 million of deferred financing costs. Secured credit facilities are secured by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac MSRs, certain servicing advance receivables, or trading securities.

Dividends and Distributions
DuringAs part of our balance sheet and capital management strategies, we suspended our regular quarterly dividend effective March 31, 2022 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we paid dividends and distributions totaling $118.9 million.
On December 13, 2021, we declared a regular cash dividend of $0.08 per share on our Class A common stock and Class D common stock. The board of directors of LD Holdings authorized a simultaneous cash distribution on its units. The dividend was paid on January 18, 2022 to the Company's stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 3, 2022.

Cash dividends are subject to the discretion of our board of directors and our compliance with applicable law, and depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, level of indebtedness, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, including the satisfaction of our obligations under the TRA, restrictions in our debt agreements, business prospects and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.
Our ability to pay dividends depends on our receipt of cash dividends from our operating subsidiaries, which may further restrict our ability to pay dividends as a result of the laws of their jurisdiction of organization or agreements of our subsidiaries, including agreements governing our indebtedness. Future agreements may also limit our ability to pay dividends.
As part of our balance sheet and capital management strategies, we suspended our regular quarterly dividend effective March 31, 2022 and for the foreseeable future.

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we were party to mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, pursuant to which we have access to uncommitted facilities that provide liquidity for recently sold MBS up to the MBS settlement date. These facilities, which we refer to as gestation facilities, are a component of our financing strategy and are off-balance sheet arrangements provided by certain warehouse lenders.arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect: (i) the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities; (ii) the disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each reporting period; and (iii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. We continually evaluate these judgments, estimates and assumptions based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions and our expectations regarding the future based on available information which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from


38



other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application. Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 20212022 Form 10-K. At December 31, 2021,2022, the most critical of these significant accounting policies were policies related to the fair value of loans held for sale, servicing rights, and derivative financial instruments. As of the date of this report, there have been no significant changes to the Company's critical accounting policies or estimates.
When reading our consolidated financial statements, you should consider our selection of critical accounting policies, the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP measures to assist investors in evaluating our financial results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. They facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in hedging strategies, changes in valuations, capital structures (affecting interest expense on non-funding debt), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense), the amortization of intangibles, and other cost or benefit items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. These non-GAAP measures include our Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA). We exclude from each of these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs and related hedging gains and losses as they add volatility and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. We also exclude stockstock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, management fees, IPO expenses, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and disposal of fixed assets, non-cash goodwill impairment, and other impairment charges to intangible assets and operating lease right-of-use assets as management does not consider these costs to be indicative of our performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of “net interest income (expense)”, as these expenses are a direct operating expense driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest expense on our non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA). Adjustments for income taxes are made to reflect historical results of operations on the basis that it was taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, net income, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Some of these limitations are:

they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements; and
they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) are not intended as alternatives to total revenue, net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to the Company, or Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share or as an indicator of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. See below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to various risks which can affect our business, results and operations. The primary market risks to which we are exposed include interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk and inflation risk.
We manage our interest rate risk and the price risk associated with changes in interest rates pursuant to the terms of an Interest Rate Risk Management Policy which (i) quantifies our interest rate risk exposure, (ii) lists the derivatives eligible for use as Hedging Instruments and (iii) establishes risk and liquidity tolerances.


41



Interest Rate Risk
Our principal market exposure is to interest rate risk as our business is subject to variability in results of operations due to fluctuations in interest rates. We anticipate that interest rates will remain our primary benchmark for market risk for the foreseeable future. Changes in interest rates affect our assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including LHFS, IRLCs, servicing rights and Hedging Instruments. In a declining interest rate environment, we would expect our results of operations to be positively impacted by higher loan origination volumes, andhigher loan margins. However, we would expect our results of operations to be negatively impacted by higher actual and projected loan prepayments related to our loan servicing portfolio and a decreasemargins, increases in the value of our servicing rights. As interest rates decline, our LHFS and IRLCs, generally increaseand decreases in the value whileof our Hedging Instruments utilized to hedge against interest rate risk decrease in value.and servicing rights. In a rising interest rate environment, we would expect a negative impact on the results of operations of our production activities and a positive impact on the results of operations of our servicing activities (principally through an increaselower loan origination volumes, lower loan margins, decreases in the fair value of our servicing rights). As interest rates increase, our LHFS and IRLCs, generally decreaseand increases in the value whileof our Hedging Instruments typically increase in value.and servicing rights. The interaction between the results of operations of our various activities is a core component of our overall interest rate risk strategy.
IRLCs represent an agreement to extend credit to a potential customer, whereby the interest rate on the loan is set prior to funding. Our LHFS, which are held in inventory awaiting sale into the secondary market, and our IRLCs, are subject to changes in interest rates from the date of the commitment through the sale of the loan into the secondary market. Accordingly, we are exposed to interest rate risk and related price risk during the period from the date of the lock commitment through (i) the lock commitment cancellation or expiration date, or (ii) the date of sale into the secondary mortgage market. The average term for outstanding interest rate lock commitments at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was 3938 days; and our average holding period of the loan from funding to sale was 2526 days for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.
We manage the interest rate risk associated with our outstanding IRLCs, LHFS and servicing rights by entering into Hedging Instruments. Management expects these Hedging Instruments will experience changes in fair value opposite to changes in fair value of the IRLCs and LHFS, thereby reducing earnings volatility. We take into account various factors and strategies in determining the portion of IRLCs, LHFS, and servicing rights that we want to economically hedge. Our expectation of how many of our IRLCs will ultimately close is a key factor in determining the notional amount of Hedging Instruments used in hedging the position.
 
Credit Risk
We are subject to credit risk in connection with our loan sale transactions. While our contracts vary, we provide representations and warranties to purchasers and insurers of the mortgage loans sold that typically are in place for the life of the loan. In the event of a breach of these representations and warranties, we may be required to repurchase a mortgage loan or indemnify the purchaser, and any subsequent loss on the mortgage loan may be borne by us. The representations and warranties require adherence to applicable origination and underwriting guidelines (including those of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae), including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.
We record a provision for losses relating to such representations and warranties as part of our loan sale transactions. The level of the liability for losses from representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable management judgment. The level of loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, trends in property values, investor repurchase demand strategies, and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying loans. We evaluate the


54



adequacy of our liability for losses from representations and warranties based on our loss experience and our assessment of incurred losses relating to loans that we have previously sold and which remain outstanding at the balance sheet date. As our portfolio of loans sold subject to representations and warranties grows and as economic fundamentals change, such adjustments can be material. However, we believe that our current estimates adequately approximate the losses incurred on our sold loans subject to such representations and warranties.
Additionally, we are exposed to credit risk associated with our borrowers, counterparties, and other significant vendors. Our ability to operate profitably is dependent on both our access to capital to finance our assets and our ability to profitably originate, sell, and service loans. Our ability to hold loans pending sale and/or securitization depends, in part, on the availability to us of adequate financing lines of credit at suitable interest rates and favorable advance rates. In general, we manage such risk by selecting only counterparties that we believe to be financially strong, dispersing the risk among multiple counterparties, placing contractual limits on the amount of unsecured credit extended to any single counterparty and entering into netting


42



agreements with the counterparties, as appropriate. During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, we incurred no losses due to nonperformance by any of our counterparties.
Prepayment Risk
Prepayment risk is affected by interest rates (and their inherent risk) and borrowers’ actions relative to their underlying loans. To the extent that the actual prepayment speed on the loans underlying our servicing rights differs from what we projected when we initially recognized them and when we measured fair value as of the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of our investment in servicing rights will be affected. In general, an increase in prepayment expectations will decrease our estimates of the fair value of the servicing right, thereby reducing expected servicing income. We monitor the servicing portfolio to identify potential refinancings and the impact that would have on associated servicing rights.
Inflation Risk
Almost all of our assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive in nature. As a result, interest rates and other factors will influence our performance more than inflation. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily correlate with inflation rates or changes in inflation rates. Additionally, our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and our activities and balance sheets are measured with reference to historical cost and/or fair value without considering inflation.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits in state or federal courts regarding violations of state or federal statutes, regulations or common law related to matters arising out of the ordinary course of business. For a further discussion of our material legal proceedings, see Note 1514 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1 Financial Statements.” Additionally, below we have described certain other significant legal proceedings.

Securities Class Action Litigation

Beginning in September 2021, two putative class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California asserting claims under the U.S. securities laws against the Company, certain of its directors, and certain of its officers regarding certain disclosures made in connection with the Company’s IPO. The two actions were consolidated and the court appointed a lead plaintiff in May 2022. A consolidated amended complaint was filed in June 2022, which, in addition to challenging disclosures made in connection with the IPO, alleges that certain disclosures made after the IPO were false and/or misleading. The Company’s motion to dismiss was filed on August 24, 2022. On October 11, 2022, plaintiffs filed an opposition toJanuary 24, 2023, the Court granted, in part, and denied, in part, the Company’s motion to dismiss. The Company’s reply is dueanswer to the consolidated amended complaint was filed on November 10, 2022.March 3, 2023. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it. The Company does not believe that a loss is probable or that the amount of loss is reasonably estimable in this matter at this time.

Stockholder Derivative Litigation

Beginning in October 2021, four shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against certain of the Company’s directors and officers, alleging, among things, that these defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing the Company to make the disclosures being challenged in the putative securities class action described above and seeking unspecified monetary damages for the

Company and that the Company make certain changes to its corporate governance. These derivative actions

subsequently were consolidated into a single action (the “California Action”). The California Action currently is stayed pending resolution of a forthcoming motion to dismissfor summary judgment in the putative securities class action. Beginning in March 2022, two substantially similar shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and then were consolidated into a single action (the “Delaware Action”). The Delaware Action currently is stayed pending resolution of a forthcoming motion to dismissfor summary judgment in the putative securities class action. The Company believes these lawsuits are without merit. The Company does not believe that a loss is probable or that the amount of loss is reasonably estimable in this matter at this time.


Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than the risk factor set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes in the risk factors discussed under Part I. "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our 20212022 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2022.

Macroeconomic headwinds, including inflation and higher interest rates, have negatively impacted our operations and financial results and may further negatively impact us. While we are implementing initiatives such as our Vision 2025 plan to better position the Company, these initiatives may not effectively mitigate the effects of deterioration in the macroeconomic environment.

Our operations and financial performance are affected by factors including macroeconomic conditions such as inflation fluctuations, interest rates, consumer confidence and demand. We generate a sizeable portion of our revenues from refinance and purchase mortgages. As interest rates have risen, refinancing volumes have decreased as fewer consumers were incentivized to refinance their mortgages. As a result, our revenues have decreased substantially and we experienced net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, investors may seek to have us repurchase additional loans in the current environment, and because repurchased loans are typically resold at a discount to their repurchase price and unpaid principal balance we have experienced increased losses on repurchased loans or loans subject to repurchase originated at interest rates lower than currently prevailing rates. An increase in repurchase volumes of loans originated at lower interest rates could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of our third quarter losses, we were required to amend certain of our warehouse lines and debt obligations related to profitability covenants for the quarter and we expect that we will need to execute additional amendments from certain of our lending counterparties related to our profitability covenants or other similar financial covenants in the future, including for the fourth quarter. There can be no assurance that such amendments will be received, in which case we would be in default under these agreements, and our lenders could elect to declare outstanding amounts due and payable, terminate their commitments, require the posting of additional collateral and enforce their interests against existing collateral, as well as triggering cross default provisions under other financing facilities which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In July 2022, we announced our Vision 2025 plan designed to address current and anticipated mortgage market conditions by reducing staffing levels to approximately 6,500 by year-end 2022 and implementing business process optimization and other cost saving measures. We may not realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits, savings and improvements in our operations from our restructuring efforts due to unforeseen difficulties, delays or unexpected costs. If we are unable to realize the expected operational efficiencies and cost savings through headcount reduction, attrition, business process optimization, reduced marketing and third-party spending, and real estate consolidation, our operating results, financial condition, cash flows and competitive position may be materially adversely affected. We also cannot guarantee that we will not have to undertake additional staffing reductions or strategic reorganization activities in the future.

Furthermore, staffing reductions that occurred over the last several months could create an additional risk of claims being made on behalf of affected employees. Any alleged violation of applicable wage laws or other labor-or employment-related laws could result in complaints by current or former employees, adverse media coverage, investigations and damages or penalties which could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation, business, operating results and prospects. In addition, responding to any such proceeding may result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources, significant defense costs and other professional fees.



57



Finally, we may be exposed to unanticipated consequences of our staffing reductions, including attrition beyond the planned reductions, increased difficulties in our day-to-day operations, including as a result of a loss of continuity, loss of accumulated knowledge and/or efficiency, reduced employee morale and reduced ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.Employees who were not affected by our planned staffing reductions may seek alternate employment, which may force us to rely on third-party contract support creating unplanned additional expense or harm our productivity.16, 2023.
